Effect of parental mutuality on the quality of life of mothers of children with special health needs

Objective: to analyze the effect of parental mutuality on the quality of life related to the health of mothers who care for children with special health needs. Method: an observational, analytical and cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The following instruments were applied to 181 caregiving mothers: The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form and Family Management Measure (Parental Mutuality subscale). In the statistical analysis, Spearman’s correlation and univariate and multivariate linear regression were used. Results: the total score of parental mutuality was 30.8, indicating a satisfactory perception of the caregiving mother about the way the couple shares decisions regarding the care of the child. In the multivariate regression analysis, parental mutuality maintained a statistically significant association with the domains of pain, social aspects and emotional limitations of quality of life related to health (p=<0.001, 0.003, 0.002), respectively. Conclusion: parental mutuality has a positive effect on some domains of quality of life related to health. It is recommended to plan actions aimed at strengthening the complicity and connection between the couple, especially in matters related to the care of the child with special health needs.Objetivo: analisar o efeito da mutualidade parental na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde das mães cuidadoras de crianças com necessidades especiais de saúde. Método: estudo observacional, analítico, transversal e de abordagem quantitativa. Foram aplicados em 181 mães cuidadoras os seguintes instrumentos: The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form e Family Management Measure (subescala Mutualidade parental). Na análise estatística, utilizou-se correlação de Spearman e regressão linear univariada e multivariada. Resultados: o escore total da mutualidade parental foi 30,8, indicando uma percepção satisfatória da mãe cuidadora sobre a forma como o casal compartilha as decisões com relação ao cuidado do filho. Na análise de regressão multivariada, a mutualidade parental manteve associação estatisticamente significante com os domínios dor, aspectos sociais e limitações emocionais da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (p=<0,001, 0,003, 0,002), respectivamente. Conclusão: a mutualidade parental exerce efeito positivo sob alguns domínios da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde. Recomenda-se o planejamento de ações direcionadas ao fortalecimento da cumplicidade e conexão entre o casal, sobretudo nas questões relacionadas ao cuidado do filho com necessidades especiais de saúde.Objetivo: analizar el efecto de la mutualidad parental en la calidad de vida en lo que respecta a la salud de las madres cuidadoras de niños con necesidades especiales de salud.

Se recomienda la planificación de acciones orientadas al fortalecimiento de la complicidad y la conexión en la pareja, fundamentalmente, en cuestiones relacionadas con el cuidado del hijo con necesidades especiales de salud

Measurement of prompt hadron production ratios in pppp collisions at s=\sqrt{s} = 0.9 and 7 TeV

The charged-particle production ratios $\bar{p}/p$, $K^-/K^+$, $\pi^-/\pi^+$, $(p + \bar{p})/(\pi^+ + \pi^-)$, $(K^+ + K^-)/(\pi^+ + \pi^-)$ and $(p + \bar{p})/(K^+ + K^-)$ are measured with the LHCb detector using $0.3 {\rm nb^{-1}}$ of $pp$ collisions delivered by the LHC at $\sqrt{s} = 0.9$ TeV and $1.8 {\rm nb^{-1}}$ at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV. The measurements are performed as a function of transverse momentum $p_{\rm T}$ and pseudorapidity $\eta$. The production ratios are compared to the predictions of several Monte Carlo generator settings, none of which are able to describe adequately all observables. The ratio $\bar{p}/p$ is also considered as a function of rapidity loss, $\Delta y \equiv y_{\rm beam} - y$, and is used to constrain models of baryon transport.Comment: Incorrect entries in Table 2 corrected.

Measurement of the mass of the Z boson and the energy calibration of LEP

In 1985 the French government created a unique circuit for the dissemination of doctoral theses: References went to a national database “Téléthèses” whereas the documents were distributed to the university libraries in microform. In the era of the electronic document this French network of deposit of and access to doctoral theses is changing. How do you discover and locate a French thesis today, how do you get hold of a paper copy and how do you access the full electronic text? What are the catalogues and databases referencing theses since the disappearance of “Téléthèses”? Where are the archives, and are they open? What is the legal environment that rules the emerging structures and tools? This paper presents national plans on referencing and archiving doctoral theses coordinated by the government as well as some initiatives for creating full text archives. These initiatives come from universities as well as from research institutions and learned societies. “Téléthèses” records have been integrated in a union catalogue of French university libraries SUDOC. University of Lyon-2 and INSA Lyon developed procedures and tools covering the entire production chain from writing to the final access in an archive: “Cyberthèses” and “Cither”. The CNRS Centre for Direct Scientific Communication at Lyon (CCSD) maintains an archive (“TEL”) with about 2000 theses in all disciplines. Another repository for theses in engineering, economics and management called “Pastel” is proposed by the Paris Institute of Technology (ParisTech), a consortium of 10 engineering and commercial schools of the Paris region

A joint measurement is presented of the branching fractions $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ and $B^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ in proton-proton collisions at the LHC by the CMS and LHCb experiments. The data samples were collected in 2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, and in 2012 at 8 TeV. The combined analysis produces the first observation of the $B^0_s\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decay, with a statistical significance exceeding six standard deviations, and the best measurement of its branching fraction so far, and three standard deviation evidence for the $B^0\to\mu^+\mu^-$ decay. The measurements are statistically compatible with SM predictions and impose stringent constraints on several theories beyond the SM
